StarLink
In a 2018 interview, Elon Musk said the long term goal of StarLInk is to create a comprehensive global communications system that provides high bandwidth, low latency connectivity anywhere in the world. "What we're going to do for satellites is we're going to revolutionize side of things just as we have done on the rocket side of things. In order for us to really revolutionize space, we have to address both satellites and rockets."

StarLinks speeds in military testing have achieved download speeds of 620 Mbps.  The estimated cost of the StarLink constellation is 10 billion US dollars and the pizza box sized end user terminal will cost approximately US$200. 

Starlink Terminal
According to a January 7, 2020 Tweet, the end user Starlink Terminal "Looks like a thin, flat, round UFO on a stick.  Starlink Terminal has motors to self-adjust optimal angle to view sky.  Instructions are simply:

- Plug in socket

- Point at sky

These instructions work in either order.  No training required."
